Gnats are very small insects that fly around and look like a flea. Despite their similar appearance, they are not actually fleas.

If a dog rolled around on a carpet and gets staticky and a flea jumps on it will the flea get electrocuted?

Maybe... try it out if you can! I would like to see what happens. It would probably not, although such an experiment would be interesting. Electrostatic electricity has a big potential - thousands of volts - but small power when it gets discharged, that meaning the potential will subside momentarily to null volts, with the current caused very negligible. This current will cause little harm to the flea, since it consists of very resistive substances. The current might knock over the insect, but won't kill it. There would be little effect on the flea because it is not in contact with a ground point at the same time it comes into contact with the dog, so there would be no discharge. This is the same reason birds can sit on overhead High Voltage train wires. The charge could, however, pass through the flea enroute to another hair. The ground principle does not apply where the medium (flea) provides a lower resistance path than the initial one (air). But, again, the low current would probably not injure the flea. *Electronic flea combs convert 3 volts to 4000 volts DC at only a few milliamps, and will at least stun most fleas that pass through the metal teeth.

What is a little bug that jumps and looks like a flea but is not a flea?

The little brown bugs you describe are probably Collembola, small wingless insects, some of which are about the same size and colouring as fleas, feeding on algae, fungi and debris on the soil surface. They are extremely numerous and widespread, and more commonly known as springtails. The little trigger on their abdomen which they release to escape danger causes them to jump like fleas, but you will need a microscope to see the bodily differences.
